Memorial Day is Monday and, while it is a time to honor and remember those who have died in service, it has also become another guise for scam artists to take from people who are currently serving or have served our nation -- especially elderly veterans.

What are you planning on doing this weekend in the Yakima Valley? If you're running low on ideas, maybe we can help you out! See if there is something below that you want to do for this Memorial Day weekend of May 27-29...

As we pause to give thanks, take inventory of our lives and count our blessings this Thanksgiving holiday, it's always appropriate to be aware of those around us who might be suffering or do not have their most beloved around any more.

We have freedom. It makes me happy to say that. However, freedom isn't always free. It comes with a price most of the time. Our United States military have fought to keep us free. We honored them on Monday, Memorial Day, at the Tahoma Cemetery. The ceremony did not leave a dry eye in the area. I started crying when the WWII veteran sang the National Anthem. There were lots of people to honor our military there. It made me proud that they came.

Memorial Day is coming this Monday and, while it is a time to honor those who serve and remember those who have died in war, it has also become another guise for scam artists to take from people who are serving or have served their nation -- especially elderly veterans.

Yakima's Memorial Day parade is this Saturday (May 28), starting downtown at 10 a.m. We would love to see you to show your support for our fallen men and woman of the military and to those you have loved and lost. Here is the parade route.

Starting with my daughter, who is now 25, and with my stepkids, who are 11 and 14, I make sure that they thank service people in uniform. When we are in a store, I always make sure they stop, thank them and shake their hand. Now, they do it without me even asking. When they've asked me why, I've always said the same thing: "You are free because of them, and you never know if they were a prisoner of war or someone who was once missing in action." That gives them the chills and then thanking them is easy.

It should be even easier to remember today (Sept.18) -- it's National POW/MIA day!

Presale tickets are available today for Memorial Day weekend's Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre. As announced Wednesday, the 2015 lineup includes Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, Schoolboy Q and actress/comedian Leslie Jones...
